I am currently studying the Somali language and this is a way to share what I have learned. I don't actually find studying Somali to be that bad. I call it "Somali Hell" because that's my weird sense of humor in dealing with learning a foreign language. There really isn't much out there to help learn this language so I have been pulling material wherever I can get it. I hope it helps you too.
